I have just started a new job and met the Sponsorship Director today i asked him would he be interested in sponsoring the Club he said unfortunately not but at least i tried, if everyone on here tried this maybe one would be lucky?

I don't think Richard Branson would be up for it!

Back in 2001 he very nearly was when the London Broncos nearly moved into Hilton Park!! If only that would of come off!!

I'll have a word. If he says no, i'll get him in a headlock and give him a nuggy.

Do it haha

Never mind Leigh, can you not get us some free first class upgrades on our tickets down to Wembley for the internationals???

isnt basils dad minted ????

I just realised thanks to Twitter I have some good contacts! Lord Sugar, Donald Trump, Richard Branson, the dragons off Dragons Den! Worth a punt?

I might even ask Stanky if he still fancies a job?

I work for the Co-op and askeda similar thing a while ago. Obviously they sponsor the leagues and elsewhere but I was at an event with a few sponsorship people and enquired that since their sponsorship of the Scottish League Cup was ending did they have any intentions to further deepen their Rugby League relationships?

The answer?

"No. We are looking for a larger marketing and sponsorship presence in the south."

<sigh>

By 'the south' they may have only meant 'south of Scotland', so we may still have a chance

On a similar Vein to this thread , does anybody know of businesses in Leigh owned by Leythers that employ more than 20 employees ?

The only one I managed to come up with was Waterfields

Any more ?

Possibly a couple of window companies?.

Can't think of any others off the top of my head.

My fiancee works for Waterfields and she got a nice letter yesterday saying there'd be no pay rise as basically they're losing money hand over fist so thats not an option unfortunately.

Who owns The Bridgewater business park? Might be worth a punt.
